Cape Town - While some have applauded the swift conclusion of the Uyinene Mrwetyana's murder case, others on social media have lamented that the sentence for her killer 'isn't enough'. Post office worker Luyanda Botha was found guilty on four counts including rape, murder and obstructing the administration of justice and sentenced to three life sentences and five years for obstruction of justice.
Count one and count four will run concurrently which means Botha will spend 75 years behind bars. He will also not be eligible for parole before the first 25 years have been served. On social media, there have been a variety of reactions but many have complained about Botha's sentence not being enough.I believe if you get a life sentence, you supposed feel the pain that you put the victim thru with that being said he deserves castration as well #UyineneMrwetyana— The Instigator November 15, 2019
This man deserves more than just 3 life sentences. And to think that he is eligible to apply for parole after 25years into his sentence? This is not enough. #Bringbackdeathsentence #UyineneMrwetyana #UyineneMrwetyana he deserve this punishment klaar. Cause he might beat the system and walk as a free man in no time. pic.twitter.com/v8uYiJW5ce No amount of justice will actually heal the family's hearts.
Can our Prisons at least operate like Thailand Prisons where prisoners are only getting food from their families and not from the state? 🤔 I am muting the hashtag #UyineneMrwetyana because it is so triggering for me. #AmINext is more than a hashtag, it's our lived experiences, the fact that we survived but she didn't! 💔 I am doing this for my Mental Health 😭.
